SS, who pissed in your Wheaties? This isn't and never was about you, so kindly take your nonsense elsewhere. Sorry if I touched a nerve, man, but take a blood pressure pill before you get all apoplectic on us.
I shouldn't even bother with someone who claims a sensor at the bottom of dXomark's list is as good as that of an a77ii, but what the Hell. I never disparaged Canon shooters except in jest in reference to my friends, clearly indicated by a "hehe." Please don't be as dense as your bottom-of-the-list sensor.
My remarks about the 70D's inferiority to the a77ii stand, so why don't you put up something other than your tired old rhetoric to show otherwise - you don't because you can't (that sounds like a challenge... I dare you.)Good grief.

Gecko, jeez, pissing in the Wheaties? Hey, everybody gets a little pee in their Wheaties on occasion, but hey, it's just a figure of speech, nobody actually eats them, :lol: ,at least I didn't think so! And I'm sure you're WAY smarter than I am. I, after all have been accused on more than one occasion of being the dumbest guy on the Hog, so it must be true.
Hey, don't take it personal, it wasn't meant to be so.
Apologies if you took it so skewed. Careful where there's smoke, sometimes there can be fire.
Let me interpret for you, as it went RIGHT over your head.
There are a lot of reasons to buy a camera or to be in a camera line besides the minutiae of sensor IQ. Maybe to you that is the ONLY reason you will ever buy a Camera. If so, go to DXO and ONLY get what is number one on their list. Brand should not even enter into the scenario, just bean counting numbers!!
I guess what irks the bean counters is that to about half of the world, the numbers are meaningless. Sure, if the camera I owned had the #1 sensor, then yippeeeee, but that is Sooo low on my priority list, my radar doesn't even go "bleep", when it goes past that part.
I could care less what is important to you or what makes you agonize at night.
Just today someone provided a link to Borrow Lenses where they dissected the 7ll to inspect the weather sealing! WOW, I an so stocked that I can shoot that camera in a driving rain, with no condom, so I can fully use all the menues, unencumbered in the rain. Now I want that chitty little camera that is dead last in the DXO ratings more than ever!!!
WHY, because the way I shoot and what I look for in a camera probably doesn't even come close to the IQ decisions that you have to make.
The whole thing comes back to the 70d. Yes, many can't begin to fathom why anybody would want such a piece of chit.
But alas, for the bean counters there is DXO and its scientific list!
For the rest of us, the are tons of choices that work just fine in the real world, even as crappy as they are.
Again, there are a lot of reasons to want and shoot cameras that are clearly some of the crappiest cameras made.
Some of those reasons seem to just bounce of the heads of some of the best and the brightest!! :lol: hehe
